Of course, a really valuable way to contribute is to add a new feature. Try to work with the community and with Linden Lab in planning the feature before running off and implementing new things. Though we appreciate your hard work, we can't accept every new feature, since maintaining new features comes with a cost. Try thinking of ways to use APIs to make plugins, or perhaps propose new APIs to make the viewer more extensible, before adding new things to the core viewer.
 
== Ideas for new Features ==
 
Just some Ideas that came up on the #opensl irc channel:
* Alternate Rendering Engines - older hardware support, etc... [http://www.google.ca/search?q=Open+Source+3D+Engine (''Open Source 3D Engine'')]
* Better Sound Support - Preload status, playback control, etc...
** Quote: ''llKelly: eightltr: yes, that idea has been suggested in the past. ('''L$1 per 1sec audio''')  I think we would rather improve the methods of linking to externally hosted sounds.''
* MIDI Support - maybe with some nice clientside Wavetables
* MOD, XM, ect. Support
* Removing Texture Loading so SL can run on less powerful Systems (say the N800/N770)
* Patching it so that llLoadURL opens the F1 Help Browser
* Adding a Avatar Local Stream Channel that has a Range of X Meters around an Avatar
** This would be used for Local Audio Streaming
** Or Local VoIP chat
** Teamspeak...
* More efficient local cache
* CTCP protocol layered on IM system
* Command Line Interface for changing preferences, sending an IM, teleporting, etc
** for example: "/set drawdist 96", "/set sound off", "/tp ahern", or "/im kex godel hello"
** would need an escape system which doesn't conflict with script command gestures (or a reserved words like how /me is)
* More sophisticated IM muting/filtering/autoresponse options
** mute or do not alert on IMs by started by a group, agent, or group-agent
** Autoreply to IMs received while (Away)
* More control over filtering specific objects/textures/sounds/agents/etc

Linden Lab is considering offering bounties for especially desirable features in the viewer.
